Emma has been the lead costumer, designer, and coordinator for the Grand Marais Playhouse for the past 25 years. Her theatre colleagues say she has created breathtaking dresses, costumes, and soft goods for most of the Grand Marais Playhouse productions, including shows with up to 100 youth involved. In 2020, Emma stepped back from creating costumes, but not before sharing her insights and experience with upcoming costumers. According to the theatre’s Director, Susan Hennessy, “The Grand Marais Playhouse will be celebrating its 50th season in 2022, and Emma has supported the Playhouse through half of those years!”
